I really enjoyed reading through this legal-driven mystery. It harked back to a proper English version of Perry Mason as Daniel Pitt tries to solve a mystery while he has a defendant on the stand. This was a new series, a spinoff from Perry's long-running Pitt series about Daniel's parents. He's not a detective but a lawyer, and yet he has a lot of the detective instincts. A couple of his friends help him solve this case.
It's more of a procedural than a thriller, and you unfold the clues as the characters do. Several things seem insignificant but are in fact connected to the case. The twist ending was a great play and I liked how it tied in.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for a free review copy. A favorable review was not required. However, my review is based off a final audio copy from my library.
